been in RBVO.. for 8 months

want to kick my Visa officer

Hi Khan 786,

Have you made a CSE with NDVO? Better do it quickly, coz there are many incidences of files and important documents being misplaced in NDVO. There are many examples in our forum itself. I will be making a CSE around in mid- September by that time I will be touching the 6 months time frame. Your profile shows you have been in RBVO for more than 6 months. You have now the full right to enquire as to whats going on with your file.

Regards,
CHEERSMAN

Still no news from Jasonbourne on how his interview went yesterday. I am hopeful for him that the outcome of the interview will be positive.
 
Congrats Kathe. Its a whole new world open to you. Wishing you only the best Canada can offer.
 
Congratulations Crunchytomato!!! Wow, you really sped ahead, all the best and I truly hope you receive your passports back with the visas asap.
I hope this bodes well for me as well, seeing as we went 'In process' on the same day and our MRs were just days apart. Perhaps, the ppr has something to do with BF'd dates or something. Anyway, I just hope I get mine soon too.

Congratulations to Kathe on your visa, now that you've crossed the finish line, I'll look forward to meeting you in Vancouver some day. It would be great to meet the people in this forum in person and share our experiences.

Thanks to Wicked Blues and Kathe for your wishes, I really appreciate them.
 
Yea everybody is waiting for Jasonbourne.....

Good news to share.We got email for passport request to finaliza our application.

Best wishes for all who are waiting for the process.
 
Hey Sorry guys. Couldn't post earlier as I landed late last night and went to sleep immediately.

So here's how it was:

I reached atleast an hour before the interview. I was allowed to enter the premises even though they mentioned in the letter that the canadidates should reach no earlier than 30 minutes.

I presented my letter at the security gate and after security check I was allowed to enter. I gave my letter to the receptionist and she asked me to wait in the hall.

I waited for close to 2 hours before I was called in (1 hour after my scheduled time). I was becoming a little restless as I hate waiting the most and thought about going to the reception and inquiring but controlled myself.

I greeted the lady officer on my way in and she offered me to take a seat.

The first thing she asked -- "Where is your spouse?". The interview letter clearly mentioned that my spouse need not attend the interview so I said so. She confirmed again whether the letter clearly mentioned it and I said yes (I wonder why she asked as she could have checked it on the screen I guess) .

Then she asked me to give her the additional documents that the letter asked for. So I gave her the requested documents one by one (each time explaining what they were). Then she asked me about Marriage Questinnaire and I gave it to her along with the bunch of photos of various outings and additional documents to support my stand (past e-mails, an affidavit etc.). While looking at the pictures that I gave her she took out one picture and asked me about the person we were posing with.

She then started to ask questions about our relationship, how we met, where do we stay and who else stays with us, how is my spouse's relationship with my parents, how is my relationship with my spouses' parents etc (I don't remember everything but it sums up just about everything). She also asked me about my wedding (Just 3 months before the application) and how my parents think about my moving to Canada -- I gave my justification and I think she was convinced by my answer.

She then proceeded to ask some questions about my job. She first asked me to describe the duties and responsibilities that I handle on an ongoing basis. I did and there were few more questions based on the employment letters (including the fresh ones) that I submitted. Then there were some generic questions regarding my job (the structure of my department, work timings, compensation etc.).

In the end, she said that she was satisfied with my responses and that the application will be processed further and that they will contact me if any more information is needed. I asked her about the approximate timeline from here on -- she said that she will put her review/comments in a day or two and then her clerk will check the new information/documents that I submitted and it should be "fairly quick" from here on (She kept all the docs that I gave her and said that they will be returning all the original documents to me).

The whole thing lasted for about 10-12 mins (I was surprised when I came out as others were taking anywhere between 25-30 mins or even more -- I also heard some loud arguements (!!!) while I was seated in the hall.)

After coming out I realized I could have given few more supporting documents (apart from the ones they asked for). I hope this doesn't go against me.


A special thanks to Mitali for her inputs and everything.
 
Congrats for ur success....
